New Acquisition's Today

 We went up to Black Mountain today to eat at Okie Dokie's Smokehouse. They were wiped out by Helene last year. They just reopened December 3. We had some very good pulled pork. Afterwards, we went across the highway to visit Buckeye Antiques. What a nice store! Marcia found a very pretty pendant for herself or one of the granddaughters.

They also had a half dozen razors. All were in excellent shape. I picked out the Schick 500 Hydro-Magic and the Gillette Adjustable (G2 Fatboy).



The Schick had a blade in it, and there were only 4 blades left in the dispenser (originally 5 blades). So, I suspect very gently used.  It also had the instructions and price tag. Originally sold for $1.95.
 

The Gillette Adjustable (G2, 1961) came with the case, blades, and instructions. I ran both through a sonic bath with warm water and Dawn detergent. They cleaned up very nicely with a toothbrush and a rinse.
